Good signing for West Bromwich Albion?
Button is a very experienced goalkeeper who has a lot to offer despite being 31 years of age.
The former England Under-20 international has been on the books of Brighton since 2018, but he has played just a handful of matches for the first team.
The former Tottenham Hotspur prospect is going to be a squad player at the Seagulls next season.
Sam Johnstone is the first-choice goalkeeper at West Brom, and Button would be a good back-up.
The Baggies will be looking to finish above the Premier League bottom three next season.
